Harold Clemmens is a character created by C. J. Henderson as part of his Arkham Detective Agency series.
Overview[]
At the time the stories are set, Harold Clemmens is the president of Miskatonic University, Arkham's premier higher-learning institution. C. J. Henderson describes him as:
| “ | …a painfully thin gentleman, the kind one could determine at a glance could consume several hundred thousand calories a day and gain no weight. It was an attribute that would have made him a thing despised most everywhere in modern America, if it were not for his eyes … His eyes were deeply worn pits: tired, frightened orbs that let one know their owner never slept well, never had time to relax, never found a moment designed to allow him the luxury of a smile. | „ |
Despite his appearance, he is portrayed as being something of a visionary, making such decisions as retaining the services of a private detective agency: not only as physical security, but to monitor Arkham's underworld for rumours of any criminal activities directed towards the university. Highly intelligent, he also appears to have at least a rudimentary knowledge of the gods and monsters of the Mythos, as shown in the short story "Cruelty".
